Variety bash cars usually require some underside protection and tow hitches front and back. Typically the bash car event that you are going on will provide some guidlines or rules around underside protection, tow hitches, fuel lines, batteries, bull bars and more. I can fabricated any bash plate to meet any rules placed in front of me. The events that go through remote locations and use remote goat tracks, usually have some tough requirements for entry and the car needs to pass inspection well before the event start date. Their rules are written around minimising the likely hood of you having issues and them having to tow you and a bunch of others out of some remote location.
   
In the example Ford Fairlane bash car you see here, I have adapted a second hand alloy bull bar off a XF or similar falcon, fitted a front tow hitch, underside bash plates to protect the engine, transmission and fuel tank. Up back is tow hitch placed high enough to be out of the mud, with a rear bar that is strong enough to mount jerry cans and or spare tyres. Both bash plates can take the full weight of the car, which is desired if you end up in part of a dirt road that is washed away, especially if you enter it at some speed.  The tow hitches need to be mounted and be strong enough to be able to pull this car and all its contents out of a mud bog without breaking.
   
I rebuilt the original engine for power and more torque, fitted headers and mated it up to the existing exhaust. I ran new fuel lines in conduit to protect them and fitted other various suspension parts for the trip. At the end of the fabrication process, the bash plates were removed, then powder coated and refitted. I can do as little or as much as you like, in this case the owner did a lot of work to the car, I did all the fabrication.

A typical cost to do the bash plate work is $5,500 to $7,500 or more.
